19/F. This is the third time this week I'm crying myself to sleep :/ If it weren't for work or school...I'd have nothing to do! I just feel really sad. I have some friends and they're all nice people, but none of them "get me". I just don't feel a connection with any of them. I'm a friendly person and I'm not socially awkward (promise). However, I'm not a super social person. I'd much rather hang around with a few people I already know then continuously meet random people. What can I do to change my situation?

You may or may not have a social disorder...that's something we can't tell you over the internet. The only way to know for sure is to seek medical attention. It sounds to me like you may be a little bit shy around new people, which can be normal for some people. Either way, here is my suggestion for you. You have work and school. Your current friends are quite cutting it. Sometimes that's just what happens as we grow up. You may have simply outgrown the friends you have at the moment and that's okay too. Find something that you have a passion for and volunteer in that area. It could be working with underprivileged children, terminal patients, the elderly, the homeless, an animal shelter, abused women...you get my drift. Find something new that you can really put something into of yourself and I believe you'll make some new friends along the way. Friends that do 'get' you and share some of the same ideas and passions in life. The easiest way to get over feeling sad, depressed, or sorry for yourself is to find someone who is worse off and make it your mission to figure out how to help them. Making new friends in the process is an added benefit.
